Titans LT Michael Roos announced his retirement from the NFL.

The 41st pick in the 2005 draft, Roos played in the league ten seasons, starting 148 games and earning a Pro Bowl nod in 2008. He never received many accolades, but Roos was a steady, reliable, above-average blindside protector. Instead of heading to the open market as a free agent, Roos is retiring as a member of the only team he's ever known. It was doubtful the Titans would have re-signed Roos had he kept playing. 2014 first-round pick Taylor Lewan is now locked in at left tackle. Right tackle remains a need.

"That's a very strong consideration for (me)," Roos said. "It has been 10 years and it's been a lot of fun, but mentally it starts taking a drain on you sometime so we'll see." Going on 33, Roos is recovering from a "variation" of microfracture surgery on his right knee. He was placed on injured reserve in October. Roos was still playing at a high level before going down, but the Titans already have his replacement on the roster in 2014 first-rounder Taylor Lewan. Roos is headed to the open market.

Titans LT Michael Roos' upcoming right knee surgery will end his season.

Specifics of the injury aren't known. Roos, 32, has missed just one game in his NFL career to date. The Titans' first-round pick of Taylor Lewan doesn't look quite as bad now, although they are still trotting out a completely-ineffective Michael Oher at right tackle on a weekly basis. An impending free agent, Roos has almost certainly played his final snap in Nashville. He was having an excellent season before going down, earning positive marks as both a run and pass blocker in Pro Football Focus' grades. Wed, Oct 8, 2014 10:38:00 PM

DeMarco Murray rushed 14 times for 115 yards and a touchdown in the Titans' Week 3 win over the Seahawks, adding a five-yard reception.

Nursing a bulky hamstring, Murray surprisingly got the start. He spent the first half brickwalling into the Seahawks' stout front seven. Having him lace up was looking like a foolish decision from the Titans. Then he went bonkers after the break, with the play of the day being his game-sealing, 75-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter. Murray found the edge, then followed a caravan as he reversed fields. The marathon run made for easily his best game of the season. Murray has still yet to top 14 carries, but remains ahead of Derrick Henry. He'll be on the RB1/2 borderline for next week's game against the Texans.

The early rule out comes as a surprise after Davis played through a mid-game setback last week. Coach Mike Mularkey said Davis was day to day, but the Titans want to rest him in an effort to get fully healthy. Davis will target a Week 4 return.

Taylor hasn't played much this season, only recording 18 snaps through two weeks. His biggest play has been a 42-yard reception against the Jaguars. He'll have an opportunity to prove himself in Week 3 with an increased role, but it won't be easy against the Seahawks.
